How Dare You
Jay Halstead x Reader (female) | gym crush | bad decisions
"So what's the matter? Why not pursue her then? Ask her out!" -Will was genuinely confused.
"I can't!" -Jay was so down.
Tumblr media
His younger brother, Jay; popular, hot, good looking, easily gets girls. Now, is with him in Molly's and brooding and complaining and going in circles of self-pity and regret.
"This is new to me. Jay, couldn't get a girl. Why?"
"Because I rejected her."
"What?!? I don't understand."
Jay was working out in this gym when someone walked up to him.
"Hi." -Y/N waved at him.
"Can I help you?" -Jay took his earpods off.
"Yeah, uhm, hi. Sorry to bother you. I want to introduce myself, I'm Y/N. And uh, I... can I get your name? -Y/N was nervous.
Jay is not new to being approached and asked out. So this isn't unfamiliar. He somehow knew what's next.
"Oh. I'm Jay. Jay Halstead."
"Hi. Jay... so uhm, I've been... You've been my gym crush for months now and I would like to ask you out. Will you go out with me, Jay?" -Y/N was blushing and stuttering.
"Oh, Y/N. I'm sorry but I'm not interested in you." -Jay was frank. And Y/N isn't really Jay's type.
"Oh... oh, uhm, yeah. Okay. I understand... T-Thank you for being straight with me." -Y/N keep gesturing it's okay and started walking away.
But she had a near death experience a few weeks back and that changed her perspective on a lot of things. So she walked back to Jay.
"Jay, hey. Sorry. I understand, I respect your decision but... I'm sorry, I had a life or death situation before and it changed my outlook on a lot of things. And I don't wanna regret anything. So I'm... sorry, but please, go out with me. Just once. Just one date and I promise you, I'm not gonna bother you after." -Y/N was stuttering and her voice was shaking.
Jay looked down and shook his head. He had a lot of near deaths too. And he knows the feeling. He understands and he admires that.
"Okay. One date." -Jay smiled at Y/N.
"T-Thanks! Thanks a lot! Oh, uhm, wow. Okay, can I get your number so we could talk where and when?" -Y/N took her phone out.
"Uhm, how about this? Tomorrow. Here. You decide the time." -Jay was clear at the beginning that he isn't interested, so he isn't comfortable giving his number. And he's had a fair share of crazy girls hounding him for weeks.
"Oh. Yeah, sure. I understand... okay, tomorrow, here, uhm... 8am?" -Y/N placed her phone back in her pocket.
"8?"
"S-Sorry, I figured since I only have one date, I'd use the whole day. Don't worry, I'll bring you back by 7pm."
"Okay... Yeah. That would work."
"Okay. Thanks again." -Y/N waved goodbye and left Jay to do exercises again.
Y/N was a mix of excitement and nervousness.
-+-+-+-
That night, Y/N was panicking. She started to regret pushing Jay on a date. She started to regret saying anything at all. She was scared and nervous.
She doesn't do that often. Ask guys out. She never did. She never asked anyone out no matter how much she likes them. She never made the first move. But Jay is different. She likes him a lot. And it's one of her biggest regrets when she was in the hospital.
But there's no going back now. She had asked, -or rather, forced- Jay out on a date with her. So she has to do her best. She started planning everything for tomorrow. Where to go, what to do, eat, etc etc.
-+-+-+-
The next day, Y/N was early. Jay was right on time. They greeted each other. Both in just casual wear. Y/N smiled at Jay and asked him if he had coffee yet. To which Jay said no, not yet.
So, Y/N took him to Jay's frequent cafe. She figured it out from seeing Jay walk in with a coffee cup with the cafe's logo.
They lined up. It was quiet. Jay was quiet. Y/N was quiet. Because Y/N doesn't really know what to say. She's the quiet type.
They got their coffee and Y/N asked if they could sit by the park.
"Thanks. I just don't do well in crowded places." -Y/N was chuckling nervously.
"Understandable." -Jay sat next to her. Not too close, not too far either.
"Yeah... so..." -Y/N started talking. Small talks. Basic questions. Ask Jay about himself. And Jay asked her about herself too.
Jay, being a detective, kinda figured Y/N isn't used to doing this. The nerves and the blushing and the stuttering: dead giveaways.
Jay looked away for a while and smiled. Jay commends her for the courage. So Jay took his guard down a bit, and became more receptive.
Their talk became more casual. Some itsy bits of silent moment from time to time. But Y/N would find a topic to start talking again.
They decided to walk around the park. Talking about themselves. Discovering some hobbies and movies and series that they both like. Y/N was still nervous though. She kept taking glances at Jay. How Jay looks so good right now. And she hoped she look half as good as him at least.
They have different opinions on some things but would still find something similar with each other. Jay was kind and accommodating the whole conversation. He was being nice.
They headed out of the park and started walking out to the busy streets. Y/N was kinda lost. She doesn't really know where to go next. She lost bits of her plans from nervousness.
And Y/N was scared because he can see Jay could tell she's a little lost on things. Y/N began to panic a little. She doesn't want Jay to have a bad time on a date she insisted on.
She quickly looked around and saw a comic convention happening. Y/N was hesitating, because Jay might find it weird. But Y/N took a gamble. From the information she got on their talk in the park, she felt that Jay might appreciate this convention too.
"Jay, let's go check it out, huh?" -Y/N pointed at the convention hall.
"Sure."
They started crossing the street. Y/N was scared to death because Jay's answer was just one word. That's not good, right? Oh oh.
Y/N bought them tickets. The moment they stepped in, they were met with cosplayers and con-goers. Y/N looked at Jay's expression: he was confused. This is definitely something new to him.
"Uhm, Jay? Are you okay here?"
"Yeah. I'm good... Did they buy those clothes?" -Jay got curious.
"Oh. Yes and no." -Y/N perked up.
"Yes and no?"
"Yes, you could buy a set of costumes, and no, sometimes they make them from scratch."
"They make those?" -Jay eyeing the elaborate costumes and props.
"Yeah! You see." -Y/N started talking a lot. Y/N did cosplay before so she knows a lot about making costumes and props.
Jay was kinda surprised at how Y/N changed. She was nervous and lost a while ago but now, she's lively and talking so passionately. She lit up. She smiled. She laughed. She relaxed.
Y/N was having fun at the convention, dragging Jay along. She became selfish a bit. She thought: okay, I've never been in a convention for a long time. Oh well, I'd just be me. Better real me than fake me.
And Jay was warming up to it. Jay walked into this date not really expecting anything. He wasn't interested, remember? But he started to have fun too. Seeing Y/N have fun.
Until lunch hunger hit them.
"Uhm, Jay? Would you like to get lunch now?" -Y/N was looking at her watch.
"Yeah. I'm starving."
"I know a great japanese place. Do you like japanese?"
"Yeah, I do eat them. But not often."
Y/N smiled at him and they walked towards the japanese restaurant. Y/N asked Jay if he likes seafood or chicken or beef, to which Jay just said: all is okay with me. Order for me. You know this place more than I do.
So, Y/N ordered a platter meal with samples of all. Chicken, beef, and shrimp tempura and some rice. Y/N ordered one ramen too. Jay could tell Y/N loves her japanese cuisine.
Food arrived and they eat and talk some more. Jay grew more and more intrigued by Y/N. She paid for everything. After all, she insisted on this date that Jay initially didn't wanna go to.
After lunch, they headed back to the convention for a while. And then Y/N decided she'd like to spend the afternoon in the classic arcade.
"Uhm, yeah, I know. Cliché but I want to try." -Y/N shyly said.
Jay laughed a bit. "Yeah, cliché, but it's been a while since I played in the arcade."
So they went. And so it was Jay's turn to light up.
Jay remembered when he was younger, he frequents the arcades. Playing the cop, shooting game. And sinking some hoops in the basketball ring area. Y/N played with him throughout.
The shooting game, of course Jay did well, holding the toy gun expertly and shooting accurately. Almost getting to the end of the game if not for Y/N dying and losing tokens.
So they moved on to the basketball hoops. Y/N was competitive there. Spending quite a few tokens for a couple of rematches. They spent some tokens on claw machines too. Though getting nothing out of it.
After playing all the games they liked, they decided to call it quits. They walked the streets now.
Both of them relaxed by now. Talking and talking about things they have in common.
"Uhm, yeah. So... thanks for today, Jay."
"H-Huh?" -Jay didn't notice, he was having fun. He didn't notice they were back at the gym front. "...Oh."
"Yeah. Sorry, it's a little late than promised."
It was an hour past the agreed 7pm.
"It's okay." -Jay was having mixed emotions. He didn't expect much of this date. But he doesn't want the day to end either.
"Jay. Sorry for forcing you into this date. But I hope you had a great time."
"Y-Yeah. I did." -Jay really did. It's been a while since he let loose. Since he played in the arcade. Talked about his hobbies. The movies he likes. And the series he watches.
He only ever talks about work lately. With coworkers too. Drinking at Molly's and talking about more work. It's been a while since he had real fun. No work talks. No worries about work. No stress about work.
"Thanks Jay. And goodbye." -Y/N waved at him and began walking away.
Crossed the street and boarded the bus.
Jay watched her go. And he started getting this sinking feeling. That he may have made a bad decision.
Tumblr media
He couldn't blame Y/N. He did reject her the first time. He couldn't just go and pretend that that didn't happen. He wanted to extend the date, take Y/N to Molly's and have a few drinks, get to know her more. But he can't do anything but wait for the next gym day to come. And there, he'd see what the situation is. If he could go and talk to Y/N again.
-+-+-+-
Jay was early on his gym day. He waited for Y/N to walk in. But she didn't. Jay just thought maybe Y/N skipped a day. And would be back tomorrow.
But she never did. It's been 2 weeks and Y/N never walked back into the gym. Jay figured she must've transferred to another... remembering her say, -no, promise- that after the date, she'd never bother him again.
And this must be Y/N's way of not bothering him again.
Jay regretted not getting Y/N's number. He's left currently with nothing. He did thought about asking the gym front desk for Y/N's info but he knows he'll never get that. Data privacy and all.
He did also thought to try to run Y/N's name in the PD system, but he didn't get her full name. It would take a significant amount of time to go through all the similar names in the system, both: the records of those with offenses and those who doesn't. Plus, he couldn't keep going through them, because the searches are logged and recorded.
And here he is, in Molly's, ranting to his brother about it...
Will was quiet a while. This is a first. He reached for his drink and downed it all.
Jay was looking so miserable. "Believe me, I want to. But I couldn't. Because I rejected her. I feel ashamed. Rejecting her, saying she's not my type and then what? Come up now saying: hey, I changed my mind."
"Exactly. That's exactly what you're gonna do. You never know, Jay. Just call her, tell her you lik her and ask her to talk about it."
"I don't have her number."
"What?!?"
"She tried getting mine, I didn't give mine. So we never texted. I never got her number. And I never asked until the end."
"O-kay~..." -Will ordered another bottle of beer. This is the predicament. "So, uhm, you're a detective. You could find her, right?"
"I'm trying." -Jay was walking around after work, on other gyms. And is going back to the arcade they played at. Everyday. Hoping he'd see Y/N there.
"In the gym. Her friends in the gym. Ask them?"
"She goes alone."
"Her work? Did she say where she works?"
"She did. She's a designer. Home based."
"And she didn't say where her home is?"
"Yeah."
"Okay... what if, she stays at home all the time and only goes out for groceries or gym.. near her house. Oh yeah, you won't see her again."
Jay gave Will the side eye.
"Sorry. Sorry. I'm just thinking of possibilities. She said she had an accident? Did she go to Med? I could ask around if she did."
"Yeah. She never went into details about that. And I never asked."
"Oh... okay, maybe the conventions? She might go there."
"... Yeah. That's a good option."
Jay googled for all the pop culture conventions schedule.
"Coz it's impossible to not see her again around here. Unless she moved cities or states."
"Ugh, I hope not."
"Why did you even reject her in the first place?!? I mean, okay, I get it. You don't like her, at that time, but you could've said: sorry I can't go on a date or something. Instead of saying: I'm not interested in you... That kinda really closed all the doors and windows, Jay."
"I know! That's why I couldn't say anything... I don't know why I said that back then. I was in a bad mood, maybe? I don't know."
There are 3 conventions lined up for this month. 2 of those are held at the same time at different venues. Another hurdle. What if Y/N is at the other venue while Jay is at the other? Or if Y/N came in a costume? A mask?
Jay ordered another bottle. They both finished their drinks and decided to end the nigh. Tomorrow, Jay will try to find Y/N again.
-+-+-+-
Jay was debating about which convention to go check for Y/N. She thought if he were Y/N, where would he go? Knowing Y/N doesn't like crowded places but a convention is an exception.
Jay was holding the two flyers in his hands; looking at them over and over at them -until he read the name of the guests. He remembered Y/N say she idolizes that artist. Now Jay knows which one to go to.
Jay grabbed his coat. He knocked at Sergeant Voight's office.
"Hey, Sarge, just gonna step out a bit."
"Working on a lead?" -Voight
"Uh, no... gonna see about a girl."
"Oh..."
"It won't take long."
"It's fine, Jay. Go."
Jay said his thanks and headed out. Straight to the convention.
They were lots of people. Jay kept looking for Y/N. Reaching out to some, tapping their shoulders, and mistaking them.
"Sorry, wrong person." -Jay apologized to the latest one.
He walked towards the food booths, hoping to see if Y/N is eating there. He mistakes a few more girls before he decided to step out. He stood by the entrance. He was losing patience when he finally saw Y/N.
"Hey!" -Jay held her by the hands, making her turn and face him.
"J-Jay? Oh, hey." -Y/N was a little confused seeing Jay again.
"Y/N..." -Jay was feeling a lot of things. Joy, relief, and...
Jay gripped Y/N's wrist a little too tight and dragged her to his car.
"J-Jay, hey! That's a little tight-it hurts." _Y/N was trying to free her wrist from Jay.
Jay stopped just right at the side of his car, trapping Y/N between him and the car. "Y/N... How dare you?!?" Jay was feeling joy and relief for finding Y/N but he also felt angry.
"W-What?"
"How dare you leave?"
"Jay, you said-"
"You left. After taking me on a date. After making me like you, you left. I waited for you. Back at the gym. 2 weeks you never came back. I figured you transferred. But I kept looking for you. Every day. Out there."
"Wait, but you rejected me, Jay!"
"I waited for you at the gym, to talk to you!"
"I promise to not bother you after so I changed gyms. Jay, you rejected me. I was hurt! There is no way I'd be able to move on if I keep going to that gym. And also, it'll bother you, I don't want that."
"Well, I'm here now! telling you-" -Jay slowed down. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "When I went on that date with you, it was just out of respect for you surviving near death. I wasn't expecting anything. You aren't even my type. But, on that date, I had a great time. With you. I wanted to get to know you more. I wanted to keep going on dates with you but I couldn't."
Y/N was just staring at Jay. Couldn't believe what she's hearing.
"I couldn't because I rejected and made it pretty clear that I'm not interested in you. So it didn't feel right to ask you then. So I waited until the next gym day to see you and talk to you. But you never came."
"Jay-"
"I'm sorry. I rejected you before but I would really like a second date, Y/N."
"..." _Y/N was blushing and couldn't believe it. Her shooting her shot was worth it in the end. Yes! Of course! But you hurt me... I'll make you work for it really hard."
"I'm up for it."

Since I am trapped in the hospital, until the doctors say otherwise, I’ll have plenty of free time to answer any questions you have for me. Given, well, not like I have much else to do. Doesn’t seem like I have any visitors either. I’m doubtful anyone from Durmstrang is going to pay me a visit. At least I have Mr. Weasley. When he isn’t swamped at the shop, he comes to spend time with me. Gives me sweets. Says a old friend of his had this little gimmick where he would hand out chocolate after Demnator attacks. “Hard to stay sad with a mouth full of chocolate-“ The sentiment means the most, but no amount of candy can make me feel better. Not this time. So, ask away. It’s better than staring at the ceiling all day, while your body fights you tooth and nail to keep you grounded. Left to the sounds of the staff, and books i refuse to read. Never thought I would hate to read about dragons right now. So, tell me what’s on your mind, Мой друг.

Post con crash is real AF and though I feel deeply shitty right now, it is worth every second. I got to spend the weekend learninf new rope technique and hanging out with a bunch of freaks and weirdos who are passionate about the same things as I am. Oh, and my pet and I exchanged "I love yous" for the first time this weekend, so things are pretty good, I'd say. 😊
